Chatbot Eugene Wins Biggest Turing Test Ever

Posted by Soulskill on from the it'd-be-easy-to-win-over-xbox-live dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Eugene Goostman, a chatbot imbued with the personality of a 13-year-old boy, won the biggest Turing test ever staged on 23 June, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alan Turing. Held at Bletchley Park near Milton Keynes, UK, where Turing cracked the Nazi Enigma code during World War 2, the test involved over 150 separate conversations, 30 judges, 25 hidden humans and five elite, chattering software programs. 'Thirteen years old is not too old to know everything and not too young to know nothing,' explains Eugene's creator, Vladimir Veselov."

    My convo:

    Me: Are you a bot?
    It: . I'm real
    Me: No you're not.
    It: Really? Oh, you always say banalities in the way like you present a sensation! By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you tell me about your work?

    Totally a 13 year old.

    My chatbot also does a convincing 13 year old. It just calls you a fag and claims to have done your mother non stop.
